NBA Finals

Tomorrow will be the first game of the NBA Finals pitting the Lakers against the Magic. The Magic won the season series 2-0, but the Lakers will clearly have the edge in this one. I personally want the Magic to win, but is it possible for them to beat this strong Laker team? I think maybe but they will have to play even better than they did against the Cavs.

For one, Jameer Nelson has been injured, will play, but will not be 100%. The Magic will really need him in order to win the series. He was a key factor in the two meetings between the teams earlier this season. If Mickael Pietrus can guard Kobe that would really help too. The Magic offense is very good so i expect the best defense to win. The Lakers I think haven’t been tested yet so we will see what happens. The Magic are on course to beat three 60 win teams in a row if they can pull it off.?

So, maybe this matchup really is closer than people think it is. Post your thoughts and comments!
